What are you doing for Thanksgiving?

easygoingfemme · 10-20-2018, 06:04 AM

Hopefully a family reunion with cousins, Aunts, and Uncles. We're trying to find a block of hotel rooms that can accommodate two adult cousins who need wheelchairs and suites for the younger cousins to have slumber parties in.

We used to do a big family dinner every year. I did all the cooking for about twenty people. When I started law school, I realized I couldn't do it anymore, and a new tradition was born. Now we stay home, in our pajamas all day. We only cook the parts of Thanksgiving dinner that we like the most, and we watch the parade and dog show and movies. It's a wonderful retreat from the rest of the world. We don't do black Friday shopping, either, so that whole weekend is quiet and peaceful.

Oh, I forgot about Black Friday. The thought of elbowing other people in the head at 12:01 a.m. so I can rush into some big, crazy store like Walmart and step on toes so I can cram an 80" TV I don't want or need into my 45" cart, then trying to fit it into my car and end up using bungie cords to tie it to the roof, then having it bounce off the car and hit the pavement because of a pot hole...nah.
Instead I might buy my cats some turkey flavored Fancy Feast and take 100 photos of them eating so I can post them on Facebook.

<--yeah.

No worries! A lot of the box stores are so greedy that they are open on Thanksgiving Day so you don't have to wait until 12:01 anymore.

Like everything else, I miss the old days when you got into line around 5am and that was the 'early line'. It had more camaraderie and less carnage too.

Personally, I will make something for myself...maybe an extra treat for the fur babies….and I will take that day and the next day to do work around the house and maybe take in a movie at the theatre. Nothing fancy. No extra company. Just me, myself and the two sets of eyes that follow me around everywhere.

Staying close to home. Will take the week off. Would like to get the carpets cleaned, the garage purged, and closets re-sorted. Will be lucky to get any one of those things done.

Watching parades and talking to family.

Chillin’ like a villian in my femme cave ... that’s what i’ll be up to.

Last year we were in Illinois having dinner with my daughter, her grandma, her boyfriend, and her Dad and his wife.

This year we are in Arizona with our friends.

I think this will be the 1st time in my life that no blood family will be attending.

Isn't it amazing how fast those garages get mucked back up! I cleaned ours a few months back and SO far it's stayed that way, but I have a feeling it's only because I've threatened Mary's life every time I see her heading out the door with something in her hands that I'm sure she's headed to the garage with!

If it is suppose to be pretty weather, think I will try to find a camping spot

RebelDyke · 10-06-2019, 09:00 PM

my neighbor asked me over for Thanksgiving.... after less than a month of being here (at the "new" place)....I think she is feeling loner and wants someone to be there... even though she has children...they do not com over much
